Embodiment Construction
[0022] In several embodiments of the invention, a computer 110 (FIG. 1A) is programmed to receive from a chip designer 111 (also called “user”) one or more values of one or more parameters of one or more hardware features to be customized in a soft core 112 (e.g. in the form of a text file that can be edited by a human) that is prepared by a vendor of intellectual property (IP). Note that although a text file is mentioned as an example of the format of soft core, in other examples soft core may be provided in other formats, such as a binary format or a byte code format as long as such format is sufficiently meaningful to a tool supplied to chip designer 111 for customization of the soft core (and an example of such a tool is a GUI as described next). Computer 110 may receive the values to be used in hardware customization via a graphical user interface (GUI), depending on the embodiment. Thereafter, the user-specified values are used by computer 110 to generate (e.g. through an edit...
